39. I really do get irrationally angry on internet AND irl when anyone does the "well CRYSTAL bands are the new WOLF bands" joke or any of its variants ("I'm starting a band called Black Deer Crystal Wolf Bear, right?").
Most people think it's a cute joke, but I've heard it like nine bazillion times. It's like a warning flag that someone pays a enough attention to music to joke about it, but not enough to actually form a substantive opinion on anything.

You have heard of this thing "apple juice?" I don't want to blow your mind, but it comes from APPLES. And sometimes it comes out when you're EATING THE APPLE. Apple juice dribbling down your face is nagl.

51. I have a friend who corrects me every time I say "black comedy" as she says the proper term is obviously "dark comedy" since the prior one obviously means stuff like Richard Pryor. OH YEA THEN WHY COME EVERYBODY ELSE USES THAT TERM, FECK OFF!
― officer i didn't know it was a penguin (San Te), Thursday, 30 September 2010 12:11 (2 years ago) Permalink
besides, Richard Pryor would be "Black comedy", not "black comedy"
Ha, my wife refers to African-American comedies as "black comedies". I'm trying to slowly and gently correct her. This weekend we'll be watching Dr. Strangelove, for instance.
52. Hear me out here:
I go to this bus stop every morning. The first people to arrive sit down on the bench under the shelter, then everybody else wraps around the outside of the shelter, with the line forming a bit of a tail once the number of people grows so large that they can't fit around the edge of the bus shelter.
However, once the bus arrives, the tail group of people break off from the line and form their own line that simply waits there until everybody else has wound their way around the bus shelter and into the bus.
I guess that the intent is to somehow be efficient and save the extra ten steps or so that it would take to get around the bus shelter, but it drives me nuts, like to the point where I want to yell at them.

I think 'sure' 'no problem' 'cheers' 'yeah!' even 'you got it!' are all fine in place of the ideal 'you're welcome' and pos easier to say than the moronic sounding 'Uh huh', which has only ever come out of my mouth when engrossed with something and answering half-there.

It's not an officially stated rule, but it's one that our local expressway authority admitted to following on their message board. IE, they waited until 3 violations until they sent you a warning. Most of the locals are aware of it, via word of mouth.
The main reason is that there are many booths that are now completely unmanned, with two lanes: one for people with transponders (ie, prepaid tolls, which I do), and then the Exact Coin lanes. Some of the transponder lanes don't even require stopping, they're just open lanes with little sensors on a tower up above that scan your transponder. So lots of people not native or new to the state get confused and go in this lane by mistake.
In addition, some people go to the unmanned lane with bills needing change, and can't get it because there's nobody there. So they don't penalize you because of these inconveniences (before I had a transponder, the unmanned lane thing really pissed me off).
